        Go to cardomain.com and get them to host it. Thats what I did anyway, they let you make a nice little page and everything. They're pretty good about hosting lots and lots of pics.

              Thanks. Yeah, it was pushed down a little and shifted ever so slightly to the right. Spent $500 for the frame machine. I got the whole car repainted, clearcoated, and detailed for $1500. The clip and airbags were $500+ $250 shipping. The guy who did the body work charged me $1k. Windshield $300 installed. I'm guessing total it cost me about $8k. That's including my borla exhaust, cai, tires and other mods. It cost me $500 to ship the car as well.

                  I'm wondering how much did you spend on the hood? Or know how much the hood costed alone? You could of got an aftermarket hood for probably the same price... Thats what happened on my car. Nice job anyways!!!

                    I bought a whole front clip for my repairs which included everything. I've seen nice aftermarket hoods on ebay for like $200. I seen factory ones end at like $10 at times. It's just a matter of shipping.

                          thank you for the compliments guys. It was a long process. Had guys taking their time on the body work and paint job. I bought it last Nov. and it didn't get done til this Sept.
